b) use of a parallel track approach during Phase I to allow for screening
and testing of priority chemicals concurrent with systematic priority
setting for the remainder;

c) clear delineation of a set of criteria (currently eleven) that
can be used to identify chemicals that will be a priority for screening
and testing during Phase I of the program;

d) incorporation of the use of High Throughput Pre-Screening (HTPS)
into the Phase I of the program for the purpose of generating information
on the potential for endocrine disruption activity that would not otherwise
be available in the absence of the use of HTPS;

e) use of a two-by-two matrix (as distinguished from the three-by-three
matrix discussed at the last plenary) to systematically integrate effects-
and exposure-related information into the effort to sort and prioritize
chemicals for screening and testing subsequent to Phase I of the program;
and

f) the incorporation of a nominations process into the EDSTAC Conceptual
Framework to allow for public nominations of chemicals that should be
screened for endocrine disruption.
